Council is set to hear the final phase of a review of services and programs.
Grant Thornton LLP was hired to look into ways the city could save money and deliver things more efficiently.
Administration has looked over the report and will present the recommendations and rationale into three categories: Implement, Consider for Further Review, and No Further Action.
The recommendations will include areas that were not examined by Grant Thornton LLP
Expect some No Further Action on some of the recommendations from administration for a few reasons… action was already taken, status quo was the best path forward or administration did not support Grant Thornton’s recommendations.
Grant Thornton’s engagement process included surveys, public open houses at City Hall in Phase One, and information and updates on the Get Involved section of the City’s website.
The cost of the Program and Service Review was $256,536 and submission was made to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Audit and Accountability Fund to seek reimbursement of eligible costs from the Province for municipal reviews.
A total of $230,314 was received on April 6, 2020 under the Fund.
